Alchemy of Colours“ is the title of an artist’s book on the work of the Brazilian painter Taisa Nasser. She lives in Sao Paulo and Paris. The book was recently edited in Berlin by Damm& Lindlar Editing House, on occasion of an outstanding exhibition she had in the Brazilian Embassy Berlin.
Taisa Nasser’s Works indulge in thick longish plastic-like bodies of prime colours created with marble powder and so open up a new chapter of the handling of colour and the future of framed paintings.
The book beautifully designed by grafic artist Ulrike Damm from Berlin has a preface by the well-known museum expert Dieter Ronte who had been director of the art museums in Vienna, Hannover and Bonn. It contains critical essays by Jochen Boberg, former Director of the Senate of Culture of the Berlin Government for all museums and by Elmar Zorn, former Head of Arts’ Department of the Munich Municipality, and has also an extensive interview with the artist on her outlook to her own painting.
